People Before Profit
People Before Profit (Irish: Pobal Seachas Brabús, PBP) is a Trotskyist political party active in the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. PBP was first formed in October 2005 as the People Before Profit Alliance.
PBP supports the reunification of Ireland, though rejects the use of "unionist" and "nationalist" labels within the Northern Ireland Assembly. The party describes itself as eco-socialist.
Within the Republic of Ireland, PBP makes up part of the People Before Profit–Solidarity, with its TDs sitting as part of the Independents and Smaller Parties Group. The parliamentary leader and national spokesperson of the party is the TD Richard Boyd Barrett, who has held the roles since October 2024.
People Before Profit was established in 2005 as the People Before Profit Alliance by members of the Socialist Workers Party (SWP), a Trotskyist organisation affiliated to the International Socialist Tendency (IST). The Community & Workers Action Group (CWAG) in south Dublin joined the alliance in 2007 and brought along the party's first elected representative, Joan Collins, an anti–bin tax campaigner and former member of the Socialist Party. In February 2018, the SWP renamed itself the Socialist Workers Network (SWN) to reflect "a decision to focus on building People Before Profit, and within that to win and educate as many members as possible in revolutionary socialist politics."
The Socialist Environmental Alliance (SEA) was a political party which operated in Northern Ireland, based largely in the city of Derry.
The SEA contested the Northern Ireland Assembly 2003 election in the East Londonderry and Foyle seats (reflecting the party's Derry base). It polled poorly in East Londonderry, with candidate Marion Baur gaining 137 first preference votes (0.4% of the total), although in Foyle Eamonn McCann gained 2,257 first preference votes (5.5% of the total). Overall, SEA got 2,394 votes in the election, 0.35% of the total.
It contested the 2004 elections to the European Parliament, with Eamonn McCann as their candidate. He received 9,172 first preference votes (1.6% of the total votes cast). McCann then stood in the 2005 general election in the Foyle constituency, receiving 1,649 votes and winning 3.6% of the vote.
McCann again stood for the organisation in Foyle in the 2007 Assembly election, receiving 2,045 votes (4.98% of the total). The group was dissolved in 2008 with most of it folding into the People Before Profit Alliance.
